Description

The global middle east copper scrap market size is expected to reach USD 575.75 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Middle East Copper Scrap Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Feed Material (Old Scrap, New Scrap), By Scrap Grade, By Application, By End Use, By Country – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The Middle East copper scrap market involves the collection, sorting, and recycling of used copper from various sources. This includes materials such as discarded electrical wires from old buildings, plumbing fixtures, and other industrial offcuts. Instead of going to a landfill, these materials are processed and turned into a raw material that can be used to make new products. This practice helps minimize waste, conserve natural resources, and reduce the region's reliance on newly mined copper.

The market has a positive outlook, mainly due to the huge and fast-paced infrastructure development and economic diversification in the Middle East. Countries are signigicantly investing in projects such as new cities, transportation systems, and renewable energy plants. All of this construction and development requires a lot of copper, and the recycling of scrap provides a cost-effective and sustainable way to meet this demand. Additionally, governments are increasingly focused on recycling and waste management as part of their national sustainability goals, which is further boosting the market for recycled copper.

Middle East Copper Scrap Market Report Highlights:

By feed material, the old scrap segment held the largest share of the market in 2024, driven by the vast amount of material available from the demolition and renovation of older buildings and infrastructure as the region undergoes rapid development and urbanization.

By scrap grade, the #2 copper scrap grade segment held the largest share of the market in 2024, which includes materials with some coatings or solder. This type of copper scrap is highly available from a wide range of old electrical and plumbing sources, making it the most common and widely traded type of scrap.

By application, the wire rod mills segment held the largest market share in 2024. Their demand is consistently high due to the extensive need for copper wires and cables in the region's massive construction, power, and telecommunications projects.

By end use, the building and construction segment held the largest share of the market in 2024. The ongoing boom in large-scale real estate and infrastructure projects in the Middle East makes this industry the primary driver of demand for new and recycled copper.

Saudi Arabia held the largest share of the market in 2024. Its massive Vision 2030 projects and rapid infrastructure development create an immense demand for copper, and its domestic recycling efforts are growing to support this demand.

A few key players in the Middle East copper scrap market include Sharif Metals Group, Lucky Recycling, PGI Group, WaterLink Corp, H A Z Scrap Trading LLC, and Planet Green Recycling LLC.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
